I do wonder if it's a customer on Alibaba Cloud that's doing all this or if it's entirely Alibaba's own doing that's been wrecking havoc on everyone's sites (mine included)

I don't really like blocking an entire ASN, especially since I don't mind (responsible) crawling to begin with, but I was left with no choice

I doubt Alibaba uses its own cloud. It doesn't work like that at most cloud provider companies.

right, then the claim of this being caused by "AI companies" feels a lot more dubious because at least this time the perpetrator has just been this one customer on Alibaba Cloud, and we don't actually know what they're up to.
